Features and Controls

TTL system auto focus (contrast detection system) with a focusing range:
20" ~ infinity (0.5m- infinity) in Normal mode and 8 to 20" (0.2m-0.5m) in Macro mode.
It also has the One Touch Focus button (the up arrow on the 4-way navigation control)
which locks focus on infinity, in macro mode or standard AF.

The lens retracts inside the camera when powered down and the sliding cover protects it,
no lens cap required.

The D-560Z has a large and bright eyelevel optical viewfinder. There is no
diopter adjustment.
The green LED indicates a focus lock
and the amber LED tells you the status of the flash.

On the back is a 1.8-inch color TFT LCD monitor with 85,000 pixels and the majority of
the camera's controls.

The MONITOR button controls the color LCD, enables the QuickView feature in record mode
and turns the camera on in playback mode if the lens barrier is closed. The 4-way switch
lets you navigate menus (see next page) and select playback images, enable
macro/infinity focus modes, enable self-timer, select the desired flash mode. In the
center is the MENU button which also serves as the OK (accept selection) button.

On top you'll find the shutter release and the zoom lens control which also functions
as the zoom and index controls in playback mode.

The I/O ports include: USB (v1.1) data port, Auto Connect enabled for plug-n-play
downloads with most modern operating systems.
The Video Out port has selectable NTSC or PAL format.
And a DC IN jack for an optional AC adapter or an external battery pack.

The D-560Z stores its images on xD-Picture Cards. On the back side of the
handgrip is the card slot which accepts any size card. Olympus includes an
16MB card with panorama function.

The D-560Z is powered by two AA type batteries or one CR-3V lithium non-rechargeable
battery. Alkaline type batteries can be used but I highly recommend the use of high-
capacity NiMH rechargeables which are more
environmentally friendly, reusable up to 500 times and save you money.
